Let’s Go to Squaw!

I love it. Just about every time I go to Lake Tahoe with a bunch of people from the Bay Area, there’s always someone (or more) in the group who just have to go to Squaw. And invariably I ask, why? Then they usually say something like, “Well, they have the best terrain”. (Which, by the way, they do. Squaw has some of the best steeps and chutes in Tahoe. And all the pros go there because of that.) The problem is, these people couldn’t get down a chute on their ass, let alone standing upright. So I say, “So what. You can’t do any of that anyway”. Then they say that Squaw has the best powder (Which it doesn’t). Then I have to say, “You can’t ride powder either. Last time you were floundering all over the snow and I finally just had to ditch you so I could get a couple of runs in before it got dark.” But there’s no convincing these people. Then the truth finally comes out. They want to go to Squaw because it has the best (and most) bars. (Which, I agree, it does) But so what? I don’t choose my mountain by the bars at the lodge. I just want lots of long, fun, wide-open runs. So finally have to say, “Fine, you take your Beemer and go to Squaw, I’m going to Homewood.”
